Description

Dark klah colored hair is kept closely cropped to his head on the sides and slightly longer on top in traditional Tillek style. In the winter months, a beard bristles his cheeks and strong jawline, while in the summer months he is clean shaven to help escape the heat of the desert Wey. Eyebrows are prominent and help display his blue irises, further complimenting his darkened skin tone that's kept even throughout the Turn. He is tall, approximately 6'2 and athletically built which shows in his arms and strong legs much like a seacrafter in his former life. His weight is well proportioned to his height and his physique reveals strength and endurance from Turns of dragonriding.

Formality defines the outline of his riding leathers, while simplicity undertones the overall theme. Well-fitting breeches are secured by a thick belt snaked around his hips, while a well-tailored shirt fits perfectly on his upper half. Neither too tight nor too loose, the garment is breathable during Igen's hot summer season. His body is free of accessories while two polished boots adorn his feet when he is about the Weyr.

Skol And Crossbones Bronze Shalnth

Agate glistens throughout long limbs and sets off the intrigued intensity of wide-set, faceted eyes. Liquid bronze shines again from each ridge along the line of his back while sails' sheer canopy blanches with a wrinkled mahogany. A shadow along his jaw blends back into his neck and reaches up toward his eyes where a jagged line scars his leftmost eyeknob with the same ageless sorrel that charms the shambles of his tapering ridges. The wayward hue gleams a russet-bronze about smooth hide, and wraps his form with forged burnish through lean hindquarters and into the tender lining of throat and belly.

Common Knowledge

Rixim was born at Tillek Hold and his parents were prominent, ranked Seacrafters at Fishcraft Hall. He was raised within the craft and treated fairly because of who his parents were, resulting in Spoiled Brat Syndrome that he never quite outgrew. Throughout his childhood he had a close connection with the Holders and attended some of Tillek's festivities and events without question, which only added to his self entitlement.

When he was fourteen, Search riders brought him back to High Reaches Weyr with his parents' blessings. Having lived a relatively sheltered life at the Hall, Rixim experienced quite a culture shock when he moved into the candidate barracks at the Weyr. Alone, isolated and put to work, his life changed when he met Fenordan, a fellow candidate at the Weyr. Their friendship was founded on trust when Fenordan took Rixim under his wing and taught him the Do's, Dont's and etiquette of Weyr life. Without such mentorship, Rixim might not have lasted as long as he did at High Reaches.

They stood near each other during the Hatching when Fenordan got mauled by his bronze dragon, Kadanth. Through the shock and blood of it all, Rixim attempted to help F'dan when bronze Shalnth claimed him as his own. Such a powerfully emotional moment was shared between all four of them, the beginning of a tight bond that matched the friendship they already had. The days that followed were spent tending to Shalnth and taking care of F'dan and Kadanth as best he could. Upon graduation, R'xim was placed into a fighting wing made up of mostly male dragonriders where he and F'dan quickly became wingsecond and leader respectively.

The friendship R'xim and F'dan have is very strong and dates all the way back to their candidacy together. They've been privy to scandal and cover-ups, and they even got under Weyrsecond J'llor's skin and on his nerves more times than they can count. Ultimately, J'llor ordered their transfer to Igen to rid High Reaches of their presence. But, is that the real story?
